Raytheon (RTX) Wins $113M Deal to Support RAM Block 2 GMRP
Read MoreHide Full Article
Raytheon Technologies, Inc.'s (RTX - Free Report) business unit, Missiles and Defense, recently secured a modification contract involving the Rolling Airframe Missile (RAM) Block 2 guided-missile round pack (GMRP). The deal has been awarded by the Naval Sea Systems Command, Washington, D.C. It is a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) deal that will serve Egypt.
Valued at $112.7 million, the contract is scheduled to be completed by December 2024. Per the terms of the agreement, Raytheon will perform Navy transition involving production efforts for RAM Block 2B and exercise options.
Majority of the work related to this deal will be carried out in Tucson, AZ.
Importance of RAM
The RAM guided missile weapon system is the world's most modern ship self-defense weapon that has been designed to destroy anti-ship missiles. It is currently deployed on more than 165 ships in 11 countries, ranging from 500-ton fast attack craft to 95,000-ton aircraft carriers. Its Block 2 variant represents the latest evolution in the development of the RAM missile, which makes the missile two and a half times more maneuverable, with one and a half times the effective intercept range.
Raytheon’s Missile Strength
Raytheon Missiles & Defense (RMD) is a leading designer, developer, integrator producer and sustainer of integrated air and missile defense systems, with the unit serving as a prime contractor or major subcontractor on numerous missile and related programs with the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD).
Its expertise in manufacturing combat proven missiles has been consistently boosting performance of the RMD unit. The latest contract win will bolster this unit’s performance in the coming days.
Budget Aiding Growth Prospects
The U.S. fiscal 2022 defense budget proposal provisioned $20.4 billion for investments in missile defense. This should enable Raytheon Technologies to clinch more contracts related to missile defense systems and associated services, considering the company’s proven expertise in varied missile systems. In fact, the DoD has requested investment worth $609 million for purchasing Raytheon’s long-range stand-off (LRSO) missile.
Other major missile defense players like Northrop (NOC - Free Report) , Boeing (BA - Free Report) and Lockheed Martin (LMT - Free Report) are also expected to benefit from the aforementioned budget provision.
If you’re looking for big gains, there couldn’t be a better time to get in on a young industry primed to skyrocket from $17.7 billion back in 2019 to an expected $73.6 billion by 2027.
After a clean sweep of 6 election referendums in 5 states, pot is now legal in 36 states plus D.C. Federal legalization is expected soon and that could be a still greater bonanza for investors. Even before the latest wave of legalization, Zacks Investment Research has recommended pot stocks that have shot up as high as +285.9%
